World War II and Korean veterans qualify where part of 90 day service occur within war dates. ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECTS: An estimated 60,000 ad ditional Veterans would be made eligible for Oregon Veterans' farm and home loans upon passage of this amendment, and an approximate 9,000 each year thereafter. To meet the loan needs of this new group, additional bonds would have to be sold In the amount of $3,500,000 prior to June 30, 1969, and $10,000,000 for the following two-year period. This money, plus Interest, would be repaid by the Veteran borrowers, so there would be no cost to the State or the taxpayers. 2.

GOVERNMENT CONSOLIDATION CITY-COUNTY OVER 300,000 Purpose: Amends Section 2a, Article XI of the Oregon Consti- YES I I tution. This amendment would provide for the consolidation of city-county governments in counties having a city with more NO U2 than 300,000 inhabitants. The Legislative Assembly Is to provide by law the manner of consolidating the government so that it may function under one set of officers. Incorporation to be made under general laws providing for municipalities. Nonincon sistent provisions of constitution are still applicable to cities and counties. PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION 6. BOND ISSUE TO ACQUIRE OCEAN BEACHES Purpose: Consti- tutional amendment confirming existing public rights to ocean YES O beaches and accesses. Authorizes state acquisition of privately owned beaches bordering Pacific Ocean from extreme low tide NO EH to natural vegetation line, and accesses. Authorizes at any one time not to exceed $30,000,000 state general obligation bonds for acquisition. Prohibits construction of highways on beaches and ocean sand spits. Imposes for four years one cent per gallon tax on fuel for private passenger motor vehicles to retire bonds. ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECTS: The proposed amendment authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds by the Leg islature in amounts up to $30 million at any one time, plus the interest payable on such indebtedness. Such bonds, if retired, could be reissued for the purposes of the amendment. The amendment further provides that a lc per gallon increased pas senger vehicle fuel tax be levied for four years with the pro ceeds dedicated to retirement of the bonds and interest. State revenues from this source are estimated to be $41.5 million for the four year period. Additional revenues to the State would accrue from the interest earned on these funds between the time of their collection and the time of their application in pay ment of principal and interest on the bonds. 7.

Exempts: (1) Existing bonded indebtedness; (2) levies approved in November by majority equaling 20 of registered voters. NO ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECTS: If the voters approve this proposed constitutional amendment, the State Tax Commis sion estimates that property taxes levied locally by counties cities, school districts and special districts such as rural fire protection districts would be reduced by about $150 million in the first year of its effect. The State would then automatically collect at least $6,500 000 more after the first year from personal Income taxes, corpora tion excise taxes and other taxes. This gain in State revenues would result primarily from: (1) smaller deductions for proper ty taxes on itemized income tax returns of homeowners; and (2) smaller property tax deductions on business and commercial property owners' income tax returns. v-ommerciai The administrative costs to carry out this proposed amendment cannot be determined until enabling legislation is enacted Oregon law limits this statement to the effect of this proposed amendment on State government finance.
